Not all soybeans are created equal - why critical amino acid value matters

Asian Agribiz Podcasts

The Northern Soy Marketing (NSM) Board in the US, conducted a study on Southeast Asia to look at what matters to buyers most when it comes to soybean purchasing. A key outcome of the research was the knowledge people had on the usage of essential amino acids and critical amino acid value metrics when formulating poultry diets. Asian Agribiz talks to Seth Naeve, Prof at the University of Minnesota and Prof Bob Swick, Adjunct Professor of Poultry Nutrition with Poultry Hub Australia, to understand why these metrics can make a difference in the quality of soybeans you buy and what it means for better poultry nutrition.

In this podcast you will learn:

- • Why the critical amino acid value in soybeans is important for poultry diet formulation,

- • Why digestible amino acid values are more important than crude protein values when formulating diets,

- • How to purchase the best soybeans for poultry diets.
